I thought about nitrous but I really don't want to deal with it. Plus I would keep telling myself since I have all forged internals that a 225 shot would be perfect. I bought a used pair of Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. 275/40/17. They still have plenty of tread left. I won't have an extra set of wheels so I will wait until September to put these on.

Skillet,
Those tires should help you tremendously. I always thought those cars were sweet - I would love to have one - perfect gangsta vehicle. Those also look much better than the newer model SS Impala's do in my opinion.

And they aren't FWD! Here is a shot of the car these tires came off of. He bought a almost new set from someone who wrecked their call while driving on them in the rain. We call this guy Cousin Ed. The only suspension done to this car is sub frame connectors. I think this was a mid 1.6 60. If I could get my Impala in the 1.6s I would be ecstatic. I've got a 2800 stall, he has a 3800. I'll have more torque and more weight transfer. |

Those look like some sticky tires !
If I had an extra pair of wheels, and if M/T made tires in my car's size - I would also go that route because they are stickier tires.

That would take some doing, but man would it be badass.

I went to Steele last night. It didn't cool off very much while I was there. I did get a new best though. 13.6@103 2.1 60. 20 minutes in a car oiled the track down and it was useless the rest of the night.

Ordered the cam kit with new springs, locks, and retainers as well as the electric water pump and the new timing gear without the part for the factory water pump.
